It's a common HN convention to read:

"this is an interpretion"

> this is a quote

Hopefully this clears things up.

Is it common in HN? I've seen it elsewhere, but I realy hate it. I prefer:

fake quote> If I use triple quotes, enything is valid.

> Is it common in HN?

This is demonstrable via cntrl-F

I don't know what you are trying to say with the rest.

I agree that most quotes in HN use >

I really hate when people use " for interpretations, most of the times they are strawmen.

When I really really need to use a paraphrase, I make it super obvious, to avoid any possible confusion.
